@[Murf:18108] That is a beautiful interpretation. Apart from your comments of 'the lack of impotence' - I understand what you are saying, which I think you mean 'the lack which impotence portrays'. However the ethereal mood in which Lennon writes is all there to see and hear, 'Jai Guru Deva. Om'. Basically he is in a chilled out mentality in which he feels everybody should participate in. In an idealistic world it would be really beautiful, but we do not all have the wealth that he now found himself with. The wealth to leave his first wife and then to get involved into an ethereal relationship with the Yoko Ono. As much as that subsequent life enabled John to express himself much further than before in his life - and produce such beautiful poetry as within the lyrics for this song - it all began to prove to really be becoming a non realistic world for the average person. Quite why a warped person chose to end his life is a mystery to me, as John would have ended frustrated by the fact that his ideals had never impacted on others - as beautiful as they might have been. But the average guy has mouths to feed and a mortgage/rent to pay, we can only dream. For me, it is headphones on in a darkened room listening to the track and dreaming of a future I would love to see! |
